近年来，有一些呼吁公众参与地球工程。然而，关于为什么公众应该有发言权或公众可以对地球工程讨论做出什么贡献的讨论有限。我们探讨公众参与如何有助于地球工程的一个分支，太阳辐射管理（SRM）的研究，开发和治理，在三个关键方面：1。通过履行道德要求，将受影响的各方纳入民主决策进程; 2.促进科学家与公众之间的对话和信任; 3.通过确保有关SRM研究和可能的部署的决策是由广泛的社会利益，价值观和框架所告知的。最后，我们认为，尽管许多SRM技术的新生状态，时间是正确的公众参与的参与过程。
There have been a number of calls for public engagement in geoengineering in recent years. However, there has been limited discussion of why the public should have a say or what the public can be expected to contribute to geoengineering discussions. We explore how public engagement can contribute to the research, development, and governance of one branch of geoengineering, solar radiation management (SRM), in three key ways: 1. by fulfilling ethical requirements for the inclusion of affected parties in democratic decision making processes; 2. by contributing to improved dialogue and trust between scientists and the public; and 3. by ensuring that decisions about SRM research and possible deployment are informed by a broad set of societal interests, values, and framings. Finally, we argue that, despite the nascent state of many SRM technologies, the time is right for the public to participate in engagement processes.
